Volume 1 Entertainment Circle Chapter 59 Accidental Abdominal Blackness
Through the gap in the door, Tong Xiang looked at Tan Jieyan with a dazed expression as he bowed his head to process documents behind the office desk. He was still wearing a black pen-straight suit, and his face couldn't be seen due to his lowered head. However, the majestic and cold aura from when he questioned Zhang Lin hadn't dissipated yet. Tong Xiang could still feel that strong oppressive feeling. She had always thought Tan Jieyan was just introverted and silent, but she saw a ruthless and unfeeling side of him just now.
The rest room was on the side of the office, so when Tong Jiang pulled the door open a crack, ordinary people generally wouldn't notice. But Tan Jieyan had also come from the military district back then and his senses were much sharper. At this moment, he sensed Tong Jiang's gaze and furrowed his brow slightly, his fingers tightening around the pen in his hand.
"Awake?" His complexion had returned to normal, Tan Jieyan spoke in a low voice. After the press conference ended and he returned to his office, Tan Jieyan directly opened the door to the resting room, but didn't enter. Tong Jing was leaning against the sofa, fast asleep.
The heating was on, she had a thin quilt over her body, so Tan Jiyuan didn't mind that she hadn't gone to bed and quietly closed the door to deal with work. Zhang Lin happened to be passing by and what followed next was...
Tong Jing was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Tan Jieyan's voice, startling him back to reality. He then realized that he had fallen asleep on the sofa and felt embarrassed, scratching his head awkwardly before pushing open the door and walking out, softly humming a response.
Tan Jieyan knew that he had just shown Zhang Lin his ruthless and unfeeling side, which could even be described as cold-blooded and sinister. However, Tan Jieyan did not want Tong Jiang to see this dark side of himself either, and was even afraid because of it.
Put down the pen and documents in his hand, Tan Jiyang stood up and turned back to look at the past. His face darkened, and in his line of sight, Tong Jiang was indeed frightened, lowering his head, shifting his feet, seemingly very unwilling to talk to him.
Tong Tong was still sleeping on the sofa, unaware of what was happening. As soon as she took a step, her legs felt numb, like millions of ants biting her. Moreover, she had just eavesdropped on Tan Jieyan's conversation with his subordinate, making Tong Tong feel extremely embarrassed.
She really didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just that she suddenly saw Tan Jiyuan's cold and ruthless side, so she was stunned and forgot to close the door of the rest room.
Perhaps because of their five-year relationship, Tan Jiyuan knew that Tong Qiang had always been a quiet and reserved person, so in the past five years, they had very little contact. With busy government affairs, Tan Jiyuan didn't have time to put into Tong Qiang either, only treating her as a responsibility to take care of.
This time, it was because he knew that she had suddenly participated in the audition for Blue Dolphin, that Tan Jieyan took the initiative to meet Tong Qiang again. It had been more than a year since they last met. The last time they met was when Tan Jieyan saw Tong Qiang shining brightly on a TV entertainment show. To this day, Tan Jieyan still remembered Tong Qiang's fresh and beautiful side under the spotlight, amidst the enthusiastic applause of the audience, like a startled little girl, smiling shyly and joyfully.
Tan Jieyan remained silent, and Tong Qiang's heart was racing with anxiety, regretting not closing the door immediately and eavesdropping. Due to her profession, Tong Qiang knew how serious eavesdropping was, although she hadn't heard any secrets; thinking that Tan Jieyan would despise her for this made Tong Qiang bite her lip.
Under the overly quiet atmosphere, there was a tense feeling of being watched from behind. Tong Jiang couldn't help but slightly tilt her head and sneak a peek at Tan Jieyan. Suddenly, she saw a cold and stern face with furrowed brows. Tong Jiang quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head even further, Tan Jieyan was indeed angry!
Although Tan Jiyuan had a cold face, most of the time Tong Jing knew he was just naturally aloof. But at this moment, Tan Jiyuan's facial lines were tightly drawn, his thin lips pursed, and it was clear that he was angry.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop." With a throbbing pain in her right foot, Tong Jiang apologized softly, wondering how she could have committed such a lowly yet serious mistake. She really wanted to scold herself for being so stupid.
Tan Jieyan's eyes widened slightly, her deep phoenix eyes staring intently at Tongtong, who was lowering his head, trying to shrink himself into a transparent state. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the half-open door of the rest room, and his mouth twitched involuntarily, with a sense of helplessness and frustration. His thinking seemed to be always jumping around, making it impossible for Tan Jieyan to guess what was going on in Tongtong's little brain.
"It doesn't matter, it's nothing important." Tan Jieyan replied in a low, magnetic voice with a hint of smile.
The tense and oppressive atmosphere in the office seemed to melt away instantly, so Tan Jieyan's face was very relaxed at this moment, with a hint of indulgence deep in his eyes, even with a hint of slyness, as if bullying Tong Ying had become a relief from the tedious work.
